My Big Sit Results 2012

I had great weather and a wonderful Big Sit on Sunday, and was able to count 30 species, one more than last year!

I started my official count at 7:30. Like last year, there was an abundance of Canada, Snow, and Greater White-fronted Geese, and also Tundra Swans. I saw a few Cackling Geese. My best sighting of the day was nine Common Redpolls. I was very surprised to see them because they usually don’t arrive in the East Central part of Alberta this early.

I finished my Big Sit after nine hours, at 4 pm, and I can’t wait to do it again next year!
